SENATE PASSES BILL ON NO FUNDING FOR MINORITIES IN COLLEGE!!
A bill will be heard in Congress next week to prohibit affirmative
action in admissions for ANY institution of higher education that
receives ANY federal funding (Pell grants, loans, etc.).This would end
affirmative action in EVERY COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY IN THE UNITED
STATES! Rep.Frank Riggs(R-CA) Chairman of the House Education
Subcommittee on Children, Youth, and Families is planning to offer an
ANTI-AFFIRMATIVE ACTION in admissions amendment when the Higher
Education Act is voted on the floor NEXT WEEK. The amendment would
prohibit all institutions of higher education from using Affirmative
Action in its admission decisions. If even one student at the
institution receives federal funds (i.e., Pell Grant or Student
Loan)they would be violating federal law under this
proposal. Affirmative Action would be illegal even if the school
believes it is necessary to insure a diverse student body, or to
remedy past or present discrimination.
Please call members of Congress (202)224-3121 and the President
(202)456-1414. or please email them via:
http://www.house.gov/riggs/contact.html
They need to hear from us on the importance of Affirmative
Action. PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW! ALL OF US WILL LOSE
IF THIS BILL BECOMES LAW!
